This two-bedroom mid-terrace cottage on Higher Church Street offers a manageable, single-level layout and around 810 sq ft of living space suitable for retirement living. Double glazing, mains gas boiler with radiators and fast broadband are practical comforts, and there are characterful touches visible internally alongside scope to personalise the home.
The property is being marketed with the Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for buyers aged 60+, which typically reduces the purchase cost versus the full market price. Guide figures here show a market value of £185,000 and a Homewise Lifetime Lease guide price of £124,000 (example saving ~33%); the exact price depends on age and circumstances and can include purchasing up to a 50% share to safeguard future value.
Practical matters to note: tenure is not confirmed in the supplied information and should be checked by your solicitor. The house dates from 1967–1975 and, while it has double glazing and some period-style features, some rooms display dated decor and will benefit from updating. The surrounding area is classed as deprived and mobile signal and local crime levels are average — these are relevant when weighing long-term suitability.
Overall, this cottage will suit an over-60 buyer seeking a compact, straightforward home with potential to modernise and personalise, alongside the financial flexibility of a Lifetime Lease. Verify tenure, any works needed, and obtain a personalised Homewise quote before proceeding.
